Yi Wanyong

Yi Wanyong, born on July seventeenth, eighteen fifty-eight, was a prominent figure in Korean history, serving as the seventh Prime Minister of Korea. His political career was marked by significant events that would shape the future of the nation.

Best known for his role in signing the Eulsa Treaty and the Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty, Yi's actions led to Korea's incorporation into the Japanese Empire in nineteen ten. These treaties have left a lasting impact on Korea, and Yi's name has become synonymous with collaboration during a tumultuous period in Korean history.

In addition to his political endeavors, Yi was also an accomplished calligrapher and an autobiographer, contributing to the cultural landscape of Korea. His legacy, however, remains controversial, as he is often listed among the five Eulsa traitors, a term that reflects the deep-seated resentment towards those who facilitated foreign domination.
